In sunny Southern California, seventeen-year-old
Ruby Rose is known for her killer looks, her killer SAT scores, and even her killer taste
in shoes—but only her victims will know how killer she really is. Not that child predators who beat the system every time deserve to be called “victims.”

Daughter to Orange County District Attorney Jane Rose and fallen SWAT Sergeant
Jack Rose, Ruby not only knows the law, she believes in it. That is, until someone starts
manipulating her into breaking it. Or more like crushing it when she is forced to murder,
and the term “legally justified” becomes debatable.

Torn between satisfaction that one less monster is roaming the streets and shame for the
blood on her hands, Ruby tries to find the real murderer behind it all. But in her search,
the body count keeps rising, turning her into something she never dreamed possible: A
teenaged serial killer. Ruby must find out who is using her and stop him before she finds
herself walking death row, wearing one of those horribly baggy orange jumpsuits that
even Hollywood royalty can't pull off. The closer she gets to the truth, the closer she
gets to a long-held family secret that threatens to destroy everything and everyone she’s
ever held dear—including Mr. Pre-season Favorite for Most Beautiful Eyes of the Senior
class, a.k.a Liam Slater.

With a gun called Smith strapped to her leg, a cellphone in her cleavage, a penchant for
martial arts, and a shoe closet (called Gladys and the Pips) to die for, Ruby is ready to
face the worst. And if a girl’s forced to kill, wouldn’t the guilt sit more easily in a pair of
Prada Peep-Toe Pumps?
